This 2002 was virtually perfect when I tasted it in early May. Even better than I predicted seven years ago, this 4,500-case blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot has blossomed beautifully, revealing even greater intensity and potential than I predicted. A flawless, seamless integration of tannin, wood, alcohol and acidity is found in this dense, plum/purple-colored Dominus, along with copious notes of sweet black currants interwoven with kirsch, forest floor, unsmoked cigar tobacco, new saddle leather and forest floor. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, stunning elegance and a 45-second finish, this sensational 2002 rivals two of the all-time great wines made at Dominus, 1991 and 1994. It is hard to believe that proprietor Christian Moueix’s Dominus Estate has already celebrated its 25th anniversary and is moving toward 30 years with the 2012-2013 vintages. The 2002 will drink well for another 20 year

Fresh aromas of ripe currant, wild berry, floral scents and spice carry over nicely to the palate, where the flavors turn supple and firm, with just the right touch of tannins. Not a great Dominus, and this was the best of three bottles. Drink now through 2010. 5,000 cases made.

Dominus Estate
In den späten 1960er-Jahren verliebte sich Christian Moueix in sowohl die Weine als auch die Weinberge des Napa Valley. Später, in den 1970ern arbeitete er wieder zuhause in den Weinbergen seiner Familie in Frankreich, denn sein Vater war der berühmte Weinhändler und -erzeuger Jean-Pierre Moueix, dem einige der besten Weingüter Frankreichs gehörten – Pétrus, Château La Fleur-Pétrus, Château Trotanoy in Pomerol und Château Magdelaine in Saint-Émilion. Doch 1981 kehrte Christian nach Napa zurück, und 1995 schließlich ging er eine Partnerschaft zum Zweck des Ausbaus des historischen Napanook-Weinbergs ein. Er nannte den Besitz “Dominus”, lateinisch für “Herr des Anwesens”, um seine Bindung zu dem Land hervorzuheben. Heute scheinen viele der exotischen und aufblühenden Elemente seines Bordelaiser Hintergrunds in seinen Weinen durch, insbesondere in seinem Flaggschiff-Cabernet-Sauvignon, Dominus. Während sein Zweitwein Napanook nicht minder beeindruckend und sogar noch zugänglicher ist, so dass er nur drei bis vier Jahre zum Reifen benötigt, profitiert der Dominus von mindestens zehn Jahren geduldigen Wartens.
